I'm Here If You Need Me

It feels like it has been forever since I posted last! Within a two week time frame I got into an accident on the way to work, my son passed out and got a concussion in P.E, and we had to euthanize our sweet cat who has been a member of our family for ten years. Why does it always have to come in threes?!

So, on to my post for today. I have two co-workers who had a parent pass away this last week. The card I am sharing today is for a male co-worker who's father passed away last Saturday. The other card, for a female co-worker, will be shared tomorrow.

I was anxiously awaiting my MFT order because I finally broke down and ordered two of the cover up dies. I can see that these will be frequently used. Now I am asking myself why did I wait so long to order these?

I typed up the sympathy quote in Word and printed it out for the inside of my card. Sometimes I like to hand write on the inside and sometimes I will type something up.

This is awfully pretty, Heather! Love the cover plate and the natural look of the flower with the die. The inside looks really nice, too, with the addition of the pretty little blossom. So lovely…I'm sure it will be appreciated! Take care of you and your family!!!

A beautiful sympathy card Heather! That die really looks wonderful with the color showing thru. A very nice quote too. Im sure it will be a comfort to your co worker! Hope things will be going better for you :)

You've had a time of it lately! I hope you and your son are okay, and I'm so sorry about your cat. Our pets do become part of the family, don't they. Your card is beautiful! I like the blue text paper with the sideways text over it and the flowers. That's a wonderful quote on the inside, too. After seeing this card I might have to order a couple of cover up dies, too! It's a really classy look. ~Hugs!

Heather tell me about it! Sheesh I'm longing for a break from all the things that have happened here lately ... But we get through them and with this beautiful card your co worker will have his spirits lifted ... Thank goodness for creative caring people like you ...

So sorry to hear about the awful happenings in your life lately, Heather! That would be scary with the accident and your son! And, my sympathy regarding your cat. You card is very lovely with gorgeous die cut for the background, pretty flowers, and design!

I haven't been by in soooo long and I apologize! I'm so sorry to hear of all the bad things happening! They can only get better from here! Your card is lovely and your friend will truly see it is made with love! xxx

Nice use of the sketch for this pretty card, Heather. I love this kind of die. Gosh, you've had a time of it. I hope your son is okay. Seems teens do occasionally pass out in school. I don't know why, but it happens. I'm sorry about his concussion. Very distressing for a mom. I was so sorry to hear about your sweet kitty, too. I hope things get better for you.
